COMBINATION AUTOGRAPH, PORTRAIT, AND CALENDAR MOUNT.

Application filed December 13, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLE S. LEELAND, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pierre, in the county of Hughes and State of South Dakota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CombinationAutograph, Portrait, and Calendar Mounts, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a combination autograph, portrait, andcalendar mount and the primary object of the invention is to provide acard-board mount adapted to hold a photograph in the usual manner andprovided with means for mounting a calendar and a card for inscribingthereon the signature of the person whose portrait is displayed upon themount.

The invention further aims to provide a novel manner of attaching afolder to a photograph mount, the folder being constructed to secure acalendar and a name card so that either the name card or the calendarmay be exhibited when desired.

The above and additional objects are accomplishedby such means as areillustrated in the preferred embodiment and in the accompanyingdrawings, wherein like characters denote like or corresponding partsthroughout the several views, in which;

Figure l is a front elevation `of thecompleted device.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary elevation showing the calendar card andsignature card partially mounted in place.

Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the cards removed.

Fig. et is a fragmentary vertical section through the folder attached tothe mount.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the folder.

Referring to the drawing, wherein is illustrated the preferred form ofmy invention, and in which like numerals of reference indicatecorresponding parts throughout the several views, the mount comprisesthe baseboard l upon which the cover-board 2 is mounted in the usualmanner. The portrait is inserted between the base-board and the cover 2,the latter being provided with an opening through which the portrait maybe seen.

A folder 3 is mounted on thelower portion of the cover 2 and this folderis constructed from a sheet of heavy paper which is provided with acut-out portion 4 at one end adapted to be folded on the line 5 forforming a flap. One end edge of the strip Specification of LettersPatent.

is folded to provide an attaching flap or tab 6 upon which is spread anadhesive whereby the edge at the opposite end of the strip may beattached to the tab 6 when the strip is folded as shown by Figs. l and 5of the drawing. Vhen the strip is thus folded and pasted together, itforms a casing having a front side in which the flap is provided and arear side 7 which must be attached to the front surface of the cover 2.The side 7 is provided with two longitudinal slits connected by atransverse slit thereby providing two attaching flanges 8 when thematerial embraced by the slits is bent outwardly from the rear Of theside 7. Two transverse slits 9 are provided in the cover 2 and theflanges 8 are extended therethrough as shown by Fig. 4 of the drawing.The casing is thereby held snugly in place and may be easily attachedand detached. A card 10, having the months of the year printed thereontogether with any other data, may be slid into the casing through theopen ends thereof. A photograph card ll, containing the signature of theperson whose portrait is being displayed may also be arranged in thecasing and theusual custom of defacing a photograph or portrait byinscribing ones signature directly upon the mount is thereby avoidedwhile the calendar will serve as a reminder of the date or time at whichthe photograph is presented.

From the foregoing it will be observed that a very simple and durablecombination autograph, portrait, and calendar mount has been provided,the details of which embody the preferred form. I desire it to beunderstood however, that slight changes in the minor details ofconstruction may be made without departing from the spirit of theinvention or the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

I claim:

l. A mount of the character described comprising a base board and acover board, a folder including a strip of material folded to provide acasing open at both ends, a flap for the front of the casing, the latterbeing provided with a calendar card and a name card adapted to be thrustinwardly of the casing from either end thereof, and attaching lianges onthe rear of the casing and engageable with the cover board forsupporting the said folder.

2. A mount of the character described comprising a base board and acover board, a folder including a strip` of material folded to provide aeasing open at both ends, a flap for the front of the casing, the latterbeing provided with a calendar Card and a name Card adapted tot bethrust inwardly of the casing from either end thereof, and attaeliinglanges on the rear of theV casing and engageable with the cover boardfor sup-y porting the said folder, the said folder llaving alongitudinal and two transverse slits,

the ends of the longitudinal slit Communicating with the transverse slitfor forming the said flanges and adapted for engagement with the saidcover board.

In testimony whereof I afiX my signature in presen/Geef two Witnesses.

OLE S. LEELAND.
